OK, I understand how to convert some “handwriting” to text – using the scissors. (That took me a while.)

Now I have various resp. lots of separate text fragments within a single document. How do I concatenate / merge them?

I understand I can upload a note (document / file) to Google Drive, Dropbox, … – e.g. as PDF, RTF, … . PDF is my choice. Once the file resides on Google Drive, I can download it to my MBP (i.e. notebook / laptop), “pdftohtml -xml” it, sort the text fragments by their line number, and “clear the clutter”.

But actually I would prefer to clear the clutter within a single document / file within the app.
